Chapter 740 Live in at night
There are indeed many people and gossips in the alleys. Although they look like courtyards, there are actually many families living in each courtyard.
Moreover, the homes of those living in this circle of alleys are not simple.
Any incident or disturbance in someone's family will become a secret in the circle in a very short time.
People can't even live in harmony in the village, let alone a place like this.
When men are scheming at work, their concerns will automatically extend to their wives, children, and family members. Some men even do nothing all day and just focus on the affairs of each family.
So when Lei Zhen walked out, he was seen by many people.
This problem needs to be solved!
He came out openly and greeted the people in the alley openly, not caring about their eyes at all.
"Uncle, are you taking your bird for a walk? Don't let it get suffocated. It needs some fresh air."
"Sister-in-law, where are you going? You've brought so many things with you. Do you need any help?"
“…”
He was very friendly and smiling all the way.
Then walk to the courtyard in the middle of the alley and go straight in.
Standing in the middle of the yard, facing so many eyes, Lei Zhen took out a cigarette and lit it.
"Huh...are they all here?"
"It's fine as long as they're all here. Starting next month, all rents will increase by 50%!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the family members in the yard were stunned: Who is this person? He comes here and says that the rent will be raised?
"What are you looking at? I bought this!" Lei Zhen shouted, "Either accept the rent increase or move out."
"Who are you? Do you know where this place is?"
"The landlord hasn't said anything yet, what are you shouting about?"
"Young man, I'm afraid you've made a mistake. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your brain?"
“…”
They were living well, but suddenly a young man came and started asking for a rent increase, making the family members here feel that this good young man was not mentally sound.
"Whose house did you rent?" Lei Zhen asked.
"What's it to you whose house you rent? Get out of here!"
"Even if the landlord comes, he still has to follow the contract. If he lets us leave early, he'll have to pay compensation. Do you understand?"
Lei Zhen smiled, smoked his cigarette slowly, sat down on the rock, and crossed his legs casually.
This yard is also his, and the two yards in front are also his.
I just called Jiang Nan to verify it. The main reason is that there are too few good yards, so this little fox simply turned on the slut mode.
No matter how shabby a yard is in a good location, I will buy it as long as someone is selling it.
Then they rented it out for a random sum of money, not for the purpose of earning rent, but mainly because they were afraid that the yard would be abandoned.
"Did you rent it from Jiang Nan?" Lei Zhen said with a smile, "Call her now and ask if the owner of this yard is surnamed Lei."
After hearing what he said, I actually called to verify...
After about ten minutes, the people in the yard finally figured out that the landlord was indeed the young man in front of them.
The attitude changed immediately.
"Mr. Lei, we have already signed a contract. You can't just raise the price like that, right? Even if you want to increase the price of the house, you have to tell us in advance so that everyone can be prepared."
"Who said it wasn't? Mr. Lei, can you please sit down and have a cup of tea first? Let's talk about the rent slowly, okay?"
Someone brought a stool and asked us to sit down, someone made tea, and someone offered us a cigarette.
"Don't be so frivolous. You all know the price of my house. It's far below the market price." Lei Zhen waved his hand and said, "Am I short of money? Not at all! I just notified the yard at the back alley, and I'll have to notify the two yards in front soon."
Now everyone knew that there was more than one courtyard in this alley.
"Mr. Lei, I know I took advantage of you, and thank you, but a 50% increase is really too much."
"That's right. Even if we move, we won't be able to find a suitable house in a short time."
"We're all neighbors, can you discuss it?"
Lei Zhen smiled, threw away his cigarette butt and stood up.
"Everyone, can I break the contract?"
"I'll pay whatever compensation I owe you, but I have to take this yard back. Otherwise, where will I live?"
Hearing this, everyone started to plead for mercy again.
The main reason they live here is that the man in the family has a short commute to work, and he has always lived here.
But there is only the right of residence, not ownership.
I don’t know how the yard was sold, but fortunately the landlord was willing to continue renting it to them.
"What are you arguing about?"
A majestic voice came.
This was a middle-aged man wearing an executive jacket, with a bag tucked under his arm and an official look on his face.
"Director He is here! The landlord wants to take back the house."
"Lao He, come and see how this is handled..."
Hearing that the room was to be vacated, the middle-aged man frowned.
"The contract has been signed. We can continue to rent here for ten years. It's not like we can just buy it off..."
Director He's voice suddenly stopped and he stared at Lei Zhen's face in confusion. He felt that it was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Who are you?" Lei Zhen said with a smile, "I'm Lei Zhen."
"Lei Zhen? Oh, it's Section Chief Lei. Nice to meet you!"
Director He was shocked and quickly ran over to shake hands. His face, which was full of official majesty just now, was now smiling like a flower.
"How does the director know me?"
"Section Chief Lei's name is so well-known, how could I not recognize him?" Director He smiled at the people in the courtyard, "This is Lei Zhen, the son-in-law of the Shu family in Heping Hutong to the east! He is the husband of the Shu family's long-lost youngest daughter, Section Chief Lei of the Secret Security Bureau, hehe."
This place is not far from the alley where Shu’s hometown is, and all the people living here are leaders from various units, and their positions are not too low.
"So he's the son-in-law of the Shu family?"
“No wonder the council is so handsome and elegant.”
"Chief Lei, please take a seat, please take a seat..."
The family members in the hospital were all very smart people. When they heard about the landlord's identity, they all smiled humbly and friendly.
"This is so embarrassing..." Lei Zhen patted his head and said, "I'm so embarrassed. Forget it, for Director He's sake, everyone can continue to live here. It doesn't matter whether we pay the rent or not."
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.
"Captain Lei, what's wrong with you?" Director He said with a smile on his face, "Although my ability is not very good, fortunately I am familiar with this alley. See if I can help you? Hehe..."
"I just want to find a place to live. My wife is six or seven months pregnant and can't sleep well every night. I snore loudly..."
"So I thought of the yard I bought here. I go there to take care of my wife during the day, and I come back to rest after she goes to bed at night."
"I'm really embarrassed about this. I'll go check out the two yards in front..."
Lei Zhen turned and walked out, and Director He immediately followed him, followed by a dozen other people.
It didn't take long to walk around the two front yards. The situation was the same as here, both were fully occupied.
“Oh my god…”
"I have so many houses, but I have nowhere to live?"
Lei Zhen scratched his head, his face full of helplessness.
"Hey, Chief Lei, isn't the yard at the back alley yours? That's where Boss Wang lives. You can live there."
"Yes, it's even closer."
Someone made a suggestion.
"That's not a good idea, right? Sister Li lives alone over there. If I move in and it doesn't suit me, I'll be drowned in spit..."
"Even if I'm not afraid, it's not good for rumors to affect others."
After going around in circles, Lei Zhen realized that the person making the sound was the one in the alley, because Li Meijuan's family lived in that yard.
"Hey, Chief Lei, you're worrying too much. Mr. and Mrs. Wang are both very busy and rarely at home."
"In that case..."
Lei Zhen was hypocritical and finally went to live there under the advice of many people.
This is a natural progression.
So, he stayed there at night...
